Variation and evolution

Question

  1. A. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.
  2. B. Reversed contrast: Calling a gene a whole chromosome. This would blur DNA vs genes instead of testing Selective breeding.
  3. C. Over-broad contrast: Explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of DNA. This misses the objective focus on explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.
  4. D. Unrelated contrast: It moves into a neighbouring Unit 4.6 idea rather than Variation and evolution / Selective breeding.

Answer

The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.. It is the only option that keeps DNA vs genes separate and answers the approved learning objective in Selective breeding.

Explanation

The correct option is Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations.. Correct contrast: DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. This matches Selective breeding because students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations. is correct because DNA can contain many genes; a gene has a specific coding role. The learning objective says students must explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations, so the answer must stay inside Selective breeding. The alternative options are wrong because they either calling a gene a whole chromosome., explaining protein coding without naming the gene as the relevant section of dna., or drift away from when asking about genes, test a section of dna, protein coding, alleles, or inherited characteristics..

Common mistake

Selective breeding common mistake 1

Giving a vague answer instead of directly addressing: Explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations..

Answer by clearly explaining how to explain that selected parents are bred, then offspring with desired characteristics are bred over many generations..
